This he called ‘’a gratuitous insult to our tree institutions.” The Legion elected Daniel J. Doherty. • lawyer of Boston.

It has been several years since those dealing in money and shares of stock have been so un certain as to the future and this uncertainty obviously is the cause of the Jitters among all people who dabble in the stock market, whether the dabbling be small or large, on margin or for cash. It seems a proper time, there fore. to examine the pictiife and try to see what lies beneath. And, let me hasten to say at the very out set that anyone who makes a posi tive statement about the securities market these days must be either a fool or a superman—and thus far the supermen who have lived on this earth number only one. But that fact does not destroy the value of an examination of a con dition which exists as a fact. In deed. ,1 think a review of the various factors and influences at work now can provide a clarification of gen eral conditions even though it may fail utterly to show why men and women act as they do with respect to stock market investments.

Aside from personalities, various phases of President Roosevelt’s monetary policies continue to be dis turbing and in addition to these there is the certainty that new taxes must be levied. That is, new taxes must be levied if we are ever going to balance the federal budget and higin paying off the gigantic nation al debt which now amounts to more than 38 billion. With a debt at the highest point our United States ever has known, a great many people, including bankers, have become fearful of what they might get for United States bonds that they now hold. It is obvious that this influ ence adds to the general uncertainty although it is difficult to measure the exact influence of this condition, or to see whether it is a major or a minor factor. • • • Having enumerated a few of the influences known to be at work, we come now to that Basin*M condition which Conditions heretofore always has been basic. 1 refer to general business conditions New Deal press agents have tried valiantly to make It appear that business Is booming; that prosperity Is tor* Instead at around Um ner. and that tto country has tog to fear Careful examination at oActel figure*, however, stow toe prosperity statement* to to true only to porta Tto offictal statistics diartoM very definitely tow some knee at bnewees are enjoying a eel af (red* ar U fflllKUl IU I DOM them In slifhUj soapy water instead of clear era ter.

He made it evi dent that he hopes to be the stand ard bearer for a coalition party, as serting that a realignment of politi cal parties is inevitable. Indeed, he declared, this probably was the on* thing that could save our na tional institutions. He eras not so sure that the opposition to the Roosevelt policies would unite under a new party name. Said he: 'There may be a realistic realign ment which will bring like-thinking patriots into common battle front, srbether they live north or south at the Mason and Dixon line, whether they live east or west of the Mis sissippi” Diggers to Manage Census TNCLE SAM is going to make a J count of his unemployed nephews in the hope that this will help solve the re-employment and relief problem.

One night I was passing Uncle Tom Emery’s saloon and snack- itand for colored only. A group of subdued-looking customers fetched out the limp remains of a dark per son who had been bored thrice through the heart “Uncle Tom.” I inquired of the proprietor, “isn’t that Monkey John?" “Sho' is. suh.” “How did it happen?” I asked. “Well suh.” said Uncle Tom. “It seem like he musts antagonized Mr. Buck Evitts.” ' • • • Smoked Glasses for Snakes. O N THE way here, I attended this year’s snake dance. The snake dance has become indeed a strange sight—for the snakes. If the tourists don't modify their ward robes by next year, I expect to see the snakes wearing smoked glasses. Veteran snakes that have taken part during past seasons are show ing signs of the strain. The bull snakes still hiss—as who could blame them?—but the rattlers no longer rattle freely, evidently fear ing it might be mistaken for ap plause. The commissioner of Indian af fairs wants the Navajoes to grow fewer goats. The Navajoes are balk ing. Goat hair is a profitable crop; goat meat makes good eating—for an aborigine stomach, anyhow—and goat smell is agreeable for Navajo noses.

Landis as chairman of the aecurities and exchange com mission which regulates operations of the great stock exchanges. Mr. Landis has been regarded as rather fair, rather just in his dealings re lating to stock market operations. His retirement to return to a pro fessorship in Harvard, of course, opens up the question as to his suc cessor. This is to say that most of the financial world is hoping and praying that the new chairman will not go off at a tangent; that he will avoid extreme radicalism and that he will not blame the whole finan cial structure for the crookedness of a part of it Thus, it becomes easy to see how this minor factor may have weight with sortie individuals dealing in corporate shares and bonds.

He and the Republican party were punished on that ac count and badly licked in the elec tions. It ought to be said in Mr. Hoover’s behalf that the conditions which led to the depression had their beginning long before he was elected President Indeed, they had their real beginning in the World war. President Roosevelt came into of fice as a result He started doing things and gaining the confidence of the country to such an extent that he was re-elected last year. Probably he was re-elected largely because of the bulk of the voters feeling he was restoring prosperity. I doubt, however, that Mr. Roose velt was any more responsible for the return of a superficial prosper ity than Mr. Hoover was responsi ble for the depression. But we are coming to anothe> election. If conditions should be come worse and business should de cline perceptibly again, Mr. Roose velt will be held responsible just as definitely as was Mr. Hoover. He will be charged with having made a mess of government and any at tempt on his part to prove the con-‘ dition was natural will be regarded as an alibi The whole thing seems to be in the lap of the gods and no amount of political strategy or at tempts to amend the law at supply and demand will alter events.
